Christmastime Fun

The past three weeks have been full of holiday fun. Baking cookies, seeing Santa, football games, visiting with friends and family, cute clothes, new toys, and lots and lots of love! And the camera journeyed with us most of the time :).

My dear friend Erin (another Kindergarten teacher at the school I work at) kindly gave Landon a Christmas gift. It was the adorable "My 1st Christmas" outfit pictured below... reindeer hat and all. She also gave another K teacher's son the same outfit, so when we all got together on a Sunday afternoon to bake holiday cookies we decided to dress the boys in their matching outfits. Neither of them were too fond of the hat- although it was SUPER cute they were just a little bit snug as you can probably tell from the following photo.

Erin is so great with kids! Landon loves playing with her.

He is fascinated with Christmas trees and just has to touch and grab at the tree, lights, and ornaments when he is close by.

The weekend before Christmas PJ, Landon, Kingston and I traveled down to Coral Springs. We celebrated Ryan's birthday, and then on that Sunday Paul and I went to the Dolphins game while Grandpa (Nono) watched Landon all day! He did great (the sitter:)), as I knew he would. We traveled back up to Orlando on Monday, just to repack the car and head to Jacksonville on Tuesday for a 6 day visit. It was a great trip.

Paul and I got to visit with some very special friends of ours that we don't get to see often. I've mentioned them before and I'll mention them again. We stayed at Seth and Traci's, and Mark and Marlo came down from GA and stayed with them as well. It was just like old times... well, almost. The difference now is the four kids added to the equation. The Meyer's twins (21 months), and the Meyerhofer's daughter (14 months), and our little munchkin (almost 6 months). They are all going to be great friends, just as their parents are :)

Below- bath time! So fun :)

It's not easy getting a group shot with four children under the age of 2!

After our wonderful visit with our friends, it was off to Memere's (PJ's mom's) to celebrate Christmas. We ate delicious food, played games, watched football, and relaxed. And of course there were more adorable outfits... More Christmas tree touching... Lots of sweet faces...

And many Christmas gifts! (Especially for Landon). He's been a really good boy this year, so Santa was quite generous.

Here is Landon trying out his new shades... he's not too sure about them.

Landon also got a new laptop. Here are all the Kennedy boys hard at work :). There are hundreds of more pictures I could post (literally) but I'll spare you the time:). Landon's first Christmas was very special and we will remember it always. Although it's a little late, we hope you had a very Merry Christmas, and may you have a happy, healthy New Year. We're ready for you, 2011!
